I feel for the Sysadmins and Techs that are trying to get MobileMe up. The pressure on them, from everyone all the way up to SJ himself must be unbelievable.

Hang in there.

Hope they remember to "CHECK YOUR DNS"

Yes, the pressure on the system administrators and techs at MobileMe/Apple must be tremendous. However, I've no empathy for Apple as a corporation. Just as the iPhone 2.0 Firmware is failing, so is MobileMe. It has been more than 24 hours since MobileMe was to go live. Some Mac news sites posted the Apple company line, stating MobileMe was up and running.

Don't launch a new service unless you're ready. Simple. Don't send out press releases and announce everything is rosy when the flowers are wilting fast.

Apple has created their own problem here. Let's get everyone all hyped up about the new iPhone and MobileMe. So what if it takes longer than expected to actually implement.

I'm sticking with Apple because there's nothing better. But Apple quality has taken a serious hit of late. One reason, SJ wants to tell us what we want and expects us to genuflect.

I may not renew my MobileMe account when the time comes. I do not like the me.com domain. And from what I've seen of MobileMe so far, I'm more frustrated and disappoined than excited.

interestingly enough, me.com works (for now. with a crawl); only mac.com shows the above message. I wonder why ...

me.com is up and running for me. (dot com)

It's a little sluggish, but it's been working as of 9am this morning. I've sent a few emails, added some calendar items and edited some contacts just fine. I'm in NYC if that even makes a difference.

I do agree with jfkphoto. QC has taken a hit on both the iPhone 3G release and MobileMe. If Google wasn't spying my every keystroke, I would go Gmail+apps full time. But I hate ads and hate the spying.

Come on Apple. Get it together.

*What I've heard and know about Steve leads me to the conclusion that some heads will roll after these "delays".

Still don't getting the mobileme software update. did they pull it from the server for now or is it my system? anybody got a download link?

The update should appear in the Software Update control pane when it's available. From what I've read, either Apple has pulled it or the servers are too busy to respond.

Looks like Apple choose not to include iCards in the new MobileMe. Gallery appears to replace Homepages. Dot Mac was also a place to get information. That is gone as well.

I'm going to miss iCards. I used this feature often.

What else has been scrapped?

I used iCards a lot too. Oh well.

While I'm able to access my MobileMe account, the service is painfully SLOW. I watched the guided tour, what a joke. So, when I make a change to my calendar on my PowerBook, it gets pushed to my MobileMe account and my PowerMac? WRONG. Doesn't work. Server Errors. And more slowness. The guided tour shows everything happening instantly. It takes more than one minute to move from one app to another in MobileMe. This is a big disappointment.

MobileMe today is faster than it was yesterday. In the fullness of time perhaps we'll get asymptotically closer to that devoutly to be wished instantaneous communication between the cloud and the ground.

Ini future, forget hyping stuff up. Some of us just want to work, and becoming dependent to any extent on systems that become too emotional about prior successes is obviously not responsible. But after 4 days without the ability to update Homepage, during test time at school, I must admit to being a bit more than frustrated. We just want reliable services that work... especially when we pay for them. Now, can anyone tell me how to get past the painful "Mobileme" "migrating" page into MY homepage? Please.

Have you tried just going to www.me.com?
